5.0.0-alpha4 Firmware for Original Prusa MK4
Summary
- Support for xBuddy revision
Firmware release 5.0.0-alpha4 for the Original Prusa MK4 is focused on adding support for xBuddy revision.
Support for xBuddy revision
This firmware release is extending support for the upcoming xBuddy hardware revision. The system recognizes between the boards automatically and there is no need for user intervention. The same feature was also introduced in the stable firmware release 4.7.1.
The reason for a revision is due to a change in chip suppliers, however, there is no difference in performance between existing and upcoming hardware revisions.

So ... 10 hours into an input shaping test print. I turned my pc back on, which was still connected to the Type -C and the printer resets. Fun times. Can we turn that off next go around?

You should avoid connecting V+ when connecting a PC to the USB port - it won't happen 🙂

I have tested vase mode with IS but it doesn't print spirals, you can see a clear nat and the indents. The same model printed with 4.7.2 results as expected.
